The company I work for has a network that spans a few buildings accross my city. I want to know if there is a way to subcategorize the hardware/software of those buildings into separate categories for the sake of organization and efficiency. The reason for this is because we are using Spiceworks to take an inventory of the company's assets.

Ideally, we would like to be able to select a specific building and be shown all of the hardware/software in that building.

I've done this by creating four custom groups (one for each office) and creating the rule for devices to be put into each group according to either the location field (edited manually), or the IP address. Each office is on a different network id, so it's simple to rule that 192.168.1 go to one office's group, and 192.168.2 go to another.

Click on that group in the inventory, and you'll see all the devices in that office.
